The impressive and decorative string and knot represent the energy, new experiences and meetings at the Jamboree and the unity of the Scouts gathered from all over world. The three colours represent the Jamboree concepts: Energy, Innovation and Harmony. The Mizuhiki knot is made of Japanese paper, used as a gift for occasions such as weddings and childbirth. It is said that the motion of the knot represents the bond between people. The logo hopes to create the bond between the Scouts gathered from all over the world. On the lower right side of the logo, the kanji character “和” [WA] illustrates the meaning of the Mizuhiki. In addition, on the right of the logo, the Jamboree title is indicated in English and French, and as Jamboree is an official event of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM), the World Scout emblem is featured.

  • Spirituality in the Scouts Canada Program a Proposal – December 2011
    Spirituality in the Scouts Canada Program a proposal – December 2011 Lord Baden-Powell & Duty to God God is not some narrow-minded personage, as some people would seem to imagine, but a vast Spirit of Love that overlooks the minor differences of form and creed and denomination and which blesses every [person] who really tries to do his [/her] best, according to his [/her] lights, in His service. in “Rovering to Success” Reverence to God, reverence for one’s neighbour and reverence for oneself as a servant of God, are the basis of every form of religion. in “Aids to Scoutmastership” Spirituality means guiding ones’ own canoe through the torrent of events and experiences of one’s own history and of that of [humankind]. To neglect to hike – that is, to travel adventurously – is to neglect a duty to God. God has given us individual bodies, minds and soul to be developed in a world full of beauties and wonders. in “The Scouter” January 1932 The aim in Nature study is to develop a realisation of God the Creator, and to infuse a sense of the beauty of Nature. in “Girl Guiding” Real Nature study means…knowing about everything that is not made by [humans], but is created by God. In all of this, it is the spirit that matters. Our Scout law and Promise, when we really put them into practice, take away all occasion for wars and strife among nations. The wonder to me of all wonders is how some teachers have neglected Nature study, this easy and unfailing means of education, and have struggled to impose Biblical instruction as the first step towards getting a restless, full-spirited boy to think of higher things.

The location was a huge glass-roofed building covering six acres. The concrete floor had to be covered with earth for competitions. Some non-Scout participants: an alligator from Florida, a baby crocodile from Jamaica, a lioness cub from Rhodesia, monkeys from South Africa, a baby elephant and a camel. Baden-Powell is acclaimed the ‘Chief Scout of the World’. He said, "If it be your will, let us go forth from here fully determined that we will develop, among ourselves and our boys, a comradeship through the worldwide spirit of the Scout brotherhood, so that we may help to develop peace and happiness in the world and goodwill among men." Main ‘wet’ camp was at the Deer Park in Richmond.. 2nd WORLD JAMBOREE – 1924 World Citizenship Ermelunden, Copenhagen, Denmark, 1924.

B-P named ‘Baden Meister’ (Danish for ‘bathing master’). 4 549 wet Scouts from 33 countries are accommodated by the public for a night. Awards for different contests distributed by B-P at the Copenhagen Stadium. This Jamboree showed that Scouting was not just a game, but that it made a significant contribution towards education in world citizenship.

  • History of the Fleur-De-Lis.Pub
    Cub Scout Pack 409 Origin of the World Scouting Symbol the "Fleur-de-Lis" In Scouting's early years, critics accused Baden-Powell of trying to turn boys into soldiers, holding up as evidence the Scout symbol, which they called "a spear-head, the emblem of battle and bloodshed". The Founder quickly replied, The crest is the "Fleur-de-Lis", a lily, the emblem of peace and purity. In truth, he had chosen as Scouting's emblem the sign for the North Point, universally shown on maps, charts and compass cards, because "it points in the right direction (and upwards), turning neither to the right nor left, since these lead backward again..." Lady Baden-Powell added later, "It shows the true way to go." Baden-Powell explained the origins of this sign. In the Middle Ages, mariner Flavio Gioja designed it to make the seaman's compass more reliable. In Italian, North was "Tramontana". Gioja used a capital "T" to mark it, and in deference to King Charles of Naples, whose crest was the Fleur-de-Lis, combined the letter with that em- blem. To explain the meaning of the Scout emblem, Ba- den-Powell said, "The two stars on the two side arms stand for the two eyes of the Wolf Cub having been opened before he became a Scout... The three points of the Fleur-de-Lis remind the Scout of the three points of the Scout's Promise." In the World Scout emblem, the Fleur-de-Lis is surrounded by a circle of rope tied with a reef knot to symbolize the strength and unity of the world brotherhood of Scouting: "Even as one cannot undo a reef knot, no matter how hard one pulls on it, so as it expands, the movement remains united." The three tips of the Fleur-de-Lis represent the three main parts of the Scout prom- ise: duty to God, obedience to the Scout Law, and service to others.

It's the World Scouting Crest. As a symbol of unity shared by all Scouts, it is featured on the uniforms of 28 million Scouts in 216 nations. World Scout Crest Emblem Each element of the crest has meaning: • Purple background = leadership and service to others • Rope and square knot = unity of Scouting throughout the world • Stars = truth and knowledge • Fleur-de-lis = the three points of the Scout Oath or Promise They all come together to symbolize the spirit of fellowship among Scouts everywhere. WORLDWIDE SCOUTING Friendship and understanding among youth of all nations became especially important to Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Scouting movement, when millions suffered during World War One. Soon after the war ended, he hosted the first World Jamboree in London to join together Scouts from around the globe in the name of peace. "Let us go forth from here fully determined that we will develop, among ourselves and our boys, a comradeship through the worldwide spirit of the Scout brotherhood," Baden-Powell told them, "so that we may help to develop peace and happiness in the world and goodwill among men." A cartoon in Britain's Punch magazine of August, 1920, showed a war-weary world expressing approval for the Jamboree's message of peace and brotherhood among all: CITIZENSHIP IN THE WORLD MERIT BADGE The 1911 Boy Scout Handbook included a merit badge for Civics.

  • Wojam Unlocked
    WoJam Unlocked The USA Contingent Official Newsletter Issue #2, June 2018 Let's Take A Walk Around The Jamboree! This virtual tour is brought to you by Mark Beese. Mark is a member of the Contingent Management Team and the International Representative for the Denver Area Council. Where does one begin to explain the massive program at the next World Scout Jamboree? If a circus has three rings, the 2019 World Scout Jamboree will have more than a dozen! Let's go for a virtual walk - scratch that, hike - around The Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve in Glen Jean, West Virginia to get an idea of what a typical day might look like at the 2019 WSJ. First, a disclaimer. The program is still developing and not everything here may be 100% accurate at the time of the Jambo, so be prepared for change! We're going on a virtual hike because this place is HUGE. I hope you are wearing a good (and waterproof) pair of boots, because we'll be walking about 10 miles (16 km) today. I'll meet you at your sub-camp HQ (the big white tent by your camp site). The Jamboree is really a city of 47,000 people camping in six basecamps with about four sub-camps per basecamp (a total of 19 sub-camps). If you do the math, that is about 2,500 Scouts per sub-camp. As we walk down the hill to the main program area, we pass units on their way to one of the many adventure experiences at the Summit.
